Storage Once Again

Years ago when I was younger, my mom created a playhouse & kitchen for me in my bedroom walk-in-closet. I have so many fond memories of my "Papa" sitting in there on my tiny kid size chair waiting for me to serve him up whatever I was cooking up that day. I would cook for him for hours, it was my favorite place to be.

I always said that when I had kids I was going to do the same for my girls'. I finally attempted it years ago when we finished our basement:

I created an argyle stencil that I painted on first, and then added a flower stencil to finish it off. It literally took me DAYS to do. Don't look at it too long, your eyes will cross. :)

Sadly, it being in the basement and my girls' rooms being on the third floor it has not gotten the use I was hoping for.

So, instead of this post being one of creativity and projects...it is only the lather. This weekend I have been "repainting" the walls white to turn it into another storage room that our family of 6 so desperately needs. So after 4 coats of paint later, it is FINALLY back to normal...

As boring as it is, at least it's functional and will be used 24/7 for storage!

After years of realizing my love and passion for design, decorating, and creating things for myself, family, and friends, I decided to start my own home based interior decorating company in Cedar Hills, UT. I am a stay at home mother of four beautiful children and a wife to an amazing man that puts up with my constant rearranging, shopping, and repurposing addictions! My most favorite thing to do is to recreate something for less, for I firmly believe that beauty doesn’t always have to be expensive. I created this site to document my “redo’s” of both personal and client projects.
